Elton John Cancels Tour Dates Because Of Influenza

Elton John Cancels Tour Dates Because Of Influenza

A statement on Elton John's website says that the performer is suffering from an E-coli bacterial infection and influenza. Because of this sudden bout of sickness, Elton John was forced to cancel some of his concert dates in the UK co-starring Billy Joel. His rep released a statement saying...

"He has the flu and is absolutely fine."

This isn't the first time this year that John has had to cancel concerts because of sickness. Back in July Elton was forced to take it easy because of flu-like symptoms and "extreme exhaustion".

I'm getting the feeling that Elton John might think he's younger than he really is and is pushing himself harder then he can handle. But I hope this sickness clears up soon and he's able to go back on the road! His fans are waiting!

Not true about him being too old!! I saw him and Billy in May, the third time in over ten years I've seen one of their tandem shows, and he was still just as good. Sang a few more slow songs this time - but that was the only difference. Great performers!

How in the world can someone be "absolutely fine" when they are hospotalized with ecoli and the flu. British press is reporting that he is in the hospital.
